<p style="text-align:justify;">''Kshatakshina'' is a condition with ''kshaya'' (wasting, debility, emaciation) due to injury/trauma. Trauma is usually from external injury but in the present context this term signifies rupture of lung tissue due to exogenous as well as endogenous causes. The etiology includes significant exertion beyond one’s capacity. The disease shows close resemblance with ''rajayakshma'' in pathogenesis, as both involve ''anuloma kshaya'' (the depletion of ''[[dhatu]]s'' takes place in the direction of their nourishment i.e. ''[[rasa]]'' then ''[[rakta]]'' then ''[[mamsa]]'' and so on) and ''pratiloma kshaya'' (depletion of ''[[dhatu]]s'' in the direction opposite to their nourishment i.e. ''[[shukra]]'' then ''[[majja]]'' then ''[[asthi]]'' and so on). Nourishment therapy is the principle of management in ''kshatakshina''. Various formulations to regain strength and replenishment of depleted tissues are described in this chapter. <br/>

''Kshatakshina'' is a condition with ''kshaya'' (wasting, debility, emaciation) due to injury/trauma. Trauma is usually from external injury but in the present context this term signifies rupture of lung tissue due to exogenous as well as endogenous causes. The etiology includes significant exertion beyond one’s capacity. The disease shows close resemblance with ''rajayakshma'' in pathogenesis, as both involve ''anuloma kshaya'' (the depletion of ''dhatus'' takes place in the direction of their nourishment i.e. ''rasa'' then ''rakta'' then ''mamsa'' and so on) and ''pratiloma kshaya'' (depletion of ''dhatus'' in the direction opposite to their nourishment i.e. ''shukra'' then ''majja'' then ''asthi'' and so on). Nourishment therapy is the principle of management in ''kshatakshina''. Various formulations to regain strength and replenishment of depleted tissues are described in this chapter.

In Ayurveda, rather than disease, mainly the syndromes are described and ''kshatakshina'' is also a syndrome. ''Kshata'' means injury and ''kshina'' means depletion of tissue. The term literally means depletion of tissues due to injury. It includes various pathologies leading to depletion of tissues in the body as a result of external and internal injuries. It shows close resemblance with tuberculosis, however the cardinal cause in ''kshatakshina'' is injury. Hemoptysis (symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis), hematuria (symptom of renal tuberculosis) and diarrhea (symptom of intestinal tuberculosis) all have cardinal symptoms of tuberculosis which are described as the symptom of ''kshatakshina''. It refers to those dreaded complications of tuberculosis that  appear suddenly and require prompt treatment just as acute onset of chest-pain in patient of tuberculosis who suddenly develops pneumothorax due to rupture of subpleural blebs and massive painless hematuria in the patient of genitourinary tuberculosis. Similar to tuberculosis, there is impaired immunity in ''kshatakshina'' patients also. ''Kshatakshina'' refers to cluster of diseases like spontaneous pneumothorax and renal tuberculosis, whereas presence of hemoptysis and hematuria in a single disease suggests a pulmonary-renal syndrome (eg, Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis). The diseases due to excess exertion during work or occupational hazards can also be referred to ''kshatakshina''.

Because of the above mentioned causative factors, the chest gets broken, punctured and cracked; sides of the chest get pressed and there is emaciation as well as tremor in the limbs. Gradually the potency, strength, complexion, appetite and agni (the power of digestion) of the patient get reduced. The patient suffers from fever, pain, mental depression and diarrhea even with the diminution of ''agni'' (decreased power of digestion).

While coughing, the patient spits out phlegm which is putrid, grayish in color, foul smelling, and yellow and knotty, in large quantities along with blood. The person suffering from ''kshatakshina'' becomes excessively emaciated due to further wastage of ''shukra'' and ''ojas''. [9-12]

If the signs and symptoms are mild, the power of digestion (of the patient) is strong, patient has enough strength and if the disease is new (freshly occurred), then it is curable. If the disease is chronic i.e. more than one year, then it is ''yapya'' (palliable). If however, all the signs and symptoms of the disease are simultaneously manifested, then such a patient should not be treated, because the condition is incurable.[14]

After cooking when the the recipe is cooled, one ''prastha'' of honey, half ''tula'' of sugar, and the powder (two ''karshas'' each) of ''patra, ela, hema, tvak'' and ''maricha'' should be added to it. This medicated ghee should be taken by a person in appropriate dose regularly. This is called ''amrita prasa ghrita'' and it is like ''amrita'' (ambrosia) for human beings.  This linctus is like ''sudha'' (ambrosia worth the consumption of worldly creatures) and the ''amrita'' (ambrosia worth the consumption of the gods). It should be taken along with milk and meat soup. It promotes nourishment of persons who had depleted ''shukra'' ( as in azoospermia or oligospermia), who are suffering from ''kshatakshina'', who are weak, who are emaciated because of chronic diseases, who are cachectic and who have lost their complexion and voice. It cures cough, hiccup, fever, asthma, burning sensation, morbid thirst, ''rakta-pitta'', vomiting, fainting and diseases of the heart, female genital tract and urinary tract. It helps in the treatment of infertility. [35-43]

One ''pala'' of each of ''shvadamshtra, ushira, manjishtha, bala, kashmarya, katrna'', the root of  ''darbha, prithak parni, palasha, rishabhaka,'' and ''sthira'' should be made to decoction.

After the cooking is over and the recipe is cooled, sugar (one ''prastha'') and honey (two ''prasthas'') should be added and mixed well. This medicated ghee is useful in the treatment of ''rajayaskshma, apasmara, raktapitta, prameha,'' and ''kshaya''. It prevents aging, promotes longevity and endows the person with muscle tissues, semen as well as strength. If the disease is caused by excess of ''pitta'', then this recipe should be used as linctus. If, however, the disease is caused by the excess of ''vayu'', then it should be taken as a drink.

''Bala, vidari, hrasva panchamula'' (''shalaparni, prsniparni, brihati, kantakari'' and ''gokshura''), ''punarnava'', and the ''sungas'' (terminal buds) of five ''kshirivrikshas'' (''nyagrodha, udumbara, asvattha, madhuka'' and ''plaksha'')- one ''pala'' of each of these drugs should be made to a decoction. To this, milk (two parts, i.e., double the quantity of the decoction), juice of ''vidari'' (one part), soup of goat meat (one part), ghee (two ''adhakas'') (in the text, actually one ''adhaka'' is mentioned. But in practice, it is to be taken double the quantity according to the general rule), and the paste of drugs belonging to the ''jivaniya'' group (one ''aksa'' each) should be added and cooked. When it is well cooked and cooled, thirty two ''palas'' of sugar should be added. Thereafter, one ''kudava'' of each of the powder of ''godhuma, pippali, vamsha lochana, shringataka'' and honey should be added. All of them should be stirred with the help of a stirrer. When it becomes dense, cakes (''sarpigud'') should be prepared and each of them should be wrapped with thin bark of ''bhurja'' tree. Having taken this cake one ''pala'' in weight, the patient should take milk or alcohol as post-prandial drink. These are useful in the treatment of disease caused by ''[[kapha]], sosha, kasa'' and ''kshatakshina''. These are also helpful for persons who are emaciated because of excessive exertion, overindulgence in sex and exhaustion by lifting excessive weight. These cakes are efficacious in the treatment of ''[[rakta]]-nishthivana'' (hemoptysis), burning sensation, chronic rhinitis (''pinasa''), having residual infection in the chest, pain in the sides of the chest, headache, hoarseness of voice and loss of complexion.

Cow’s milk (one ''adhaka''), ghee (two ''prasthas''), sugar cane juice (two ''adhakas''), juice of ''vidari'' (two ''prasthas'') and soup of meat of ''tittira'' (two ''prasthas'') should be cooked together. During the final stage of cooking, the paste of ''madhuka pushpa'' (one ''kudava''), ''priyala'' (one ''kudava''), ''tugakshiri'' (half ''kudava''), ''kharjura'' (twenty fruits), ''bibhitaki'' (twenty fruits), ''pippali'' (one ''pala''), sugar (thirty ''palas''), ''madhuka'' (one ''karsa'') and drugs belonging to ''jivaniya'' group (half ''pala'' each) should be added. The above mentioned drugs should be made to a paste by triturating with sugarcane juice before adding to the recipe. After the recipe is fully cooked and cooled, honey (two ''kudavas'') should be added and from it, ''modaka'' (large size pills) should be prepared. Over these ''modakas'', one pala of the powder of ''maricha'' and ''ajaji'' should be sprinkled. These ''modakas'' cure ''vatasruka'', diseases caused by ''pitta, kshatakshina, kasa'' and ''kshaya''. These are useful for persons suffering from emaciation, who have reduced semen, whose blood is blocked in the chest, who are thin, weak and old, and also for those desirous of having nourishment, complexion and strength. These ''modakas'' are also helpful for ladies suffering from exudations through the vitiated genital tract, who desire conception and who suffer from miscarriages and death of the fetus in the womb. By the use of these pills, ladies are endowed with auspiciousness strength and wholesomeness. These are promoters of ''shukra'' (sperm) and ''shonita'' (ovum). [70-77]

''Bala, vidari, hrasva panchamula'' (''shalaparni, prsniparni, brihati, kantakari'' and ''gokshura''), ''punarnava'', and the ''sungas'' (terminal buds) of five ''kshirivrikshas'' (''nyagrodha, udumbara, asvattha, madhuka'' and ''plaksha'')- one ''pala'' of each of these drugs should be made to a decoction. To this, milk (two parts, i.e., double the quantity of the decoction), juice of ''vidari'' (one part), soup of goat meat (one part), ghee (two ''adhakas'') (in the text, actually one ''adhaka'' is mentioned. But in practice, it is to be taken double the quantity according to the general rule), and the paste of drugs belonging to the ''jivaniya'' group (one ''aksa'' each) should be added and cooked. When it is well cooked and cooled, thirty two ''palas'' of sugar should be added. Thereafter, one ''kudava'' of each of the powder of ''godhuma, pippali, vamsha lochana, shringataka'' and honey should be added. All of them should be stirred with the help of a stirrer. When it becomes dense, cakes (''sarpigud'') should be prepared and each of them should be wrapped with thin bark of ''bhurja'' tree. Having taken this cake one ''pala'' in weight, the patient should take milk or alcohol as post-prandial drink. These are useful in the treatment of disease caused by ''kapha, sosha, kasa'' and ''kshatakshina''. These are also helpful for persons who are emaciated because of excessive exertion, overindulgence in sex and exhaustion by lifting excessive weight. These cakes are efficacious in the treatment of ''rakta-nishthivana'' (hemoptysis), burning sensation, chronic rhinitis (''pinasa''), having residual infection in the chest, pain in the sides of the chest, headache, hoarseness of voice and loss of complexion.

Half ''karsha'' of the root (bark) of ''nagabala'' should be boiled with milk and given to the patient on the first day. Thereafter, the powder of ''nagabala'' root (bark) should be increased by half ''karsha'' every day, and given by boiling with milk. On eighth day, the quantity of ''nagabala''- root will be one ''pala''. Thereafter the patient should continue to take this drug in the dose of one ''pala'' for one month. While taking this drug boiled with milk, the patient should refrain from taking any cereals. Whenever he feels hungry, he should take only milk. The recipe is excellent for the promotion of nourishment, longevity, strength and immunity to diseases.

Another reading of this term ‘kshata kshina’ is ‘kshina kshata’. This term implies that the injury to the chest (kshata) is caused by diminution of vital elements, like semen and ojas (kshina).
+
To sum up:
Some other scholar read ‘kshata kshina’ as ‘kshata kshaya’. According to them, description of this chapter refers to two diseases, viz. ‘kshata’ and ‘kshaya’. In this context, vide the description in the verse no.13, the cardinal sign of both ‘kshata’ and ‘kshina’ are described. This view is not tenable, because this disease is described in the singular form, while describing the premonitory signs and symptoms (vide verse 12) and prognostic signs and symptoms (vide verse 14).
 
From the above it appears that the ‘kshata kshina’ is a singular entity as a disease, and as a result of causative factors, its signs and symptoms are manifested in two different ways.

Difference between kshata kshina and rajayakshma:
+
<div class="mw-collapsible-content">
Though kshata kshina resembles with rajayakshma, the latter is caused by the simultaneous vitiation of all the three doshas, and it has a different etio-pathogenic processs (vide chikitsa 8:15). Signs and symptoms of these two diseases, namely ‘kshata kshina’ and ‘rajayakshma’ are different in presentation. Negligence in the treatment of kshata kshina leads to rajayakshma. 
 
Onset of diseaes: The tern ‘Avyakta’ literally means unmanifested. But in the present context it implies less manifested. This shows that the disease has acute onset/sudden onset without any incubation period. The term ‘vaisesika’, in the verse 13 implies ‘specially manifested’ or ‘excessively manifested’
 
The term kshina, meaning diminution of tissue elements, implies diminution of semen and ojas (vital essence).
 
According to some other scholars, the description in verse 13, pertains to the two groups of signs and symptoms, which are manifested in two different stages (type of this disease).

All the mentioned etiological factors can be divided into two categories viz. (1) exogenous factors related to over-exertion/ strenuous malpractice of physical activity that causes trauma to the lung tissues, (2) endogenous factors related to malnutrition that causes depletion of body tissues. The etiological factors described for kshata are related to those that causes spontaneous lung injury and the clinical feature suggest that it is a condition of pneumothorax. Studies showed that strenuous athletic activites like vigorous swimming, heavy weight lifting, jolting, etc. can cause pneumothorax (PTX) and pneumomediastinum (PTM).

2. Cough
 
3. Hemoptysis, along with other 8 sympoms. 1. Chest pain
 
2. Cough
 
3. Hemoptysis
 
May accoompained with Atisara (Ca.Ci. 8/16) 1.Dry cough followed by hemoptysis,
 
2. Pricking, sharp, piercing, tearing, intense chest pain,
 
3. Fever (jvara), dyspnea (svasa), morbid thirst (trisna), and change in voice (vaisvarya) is also present.
 
  
Examing the etiological factors, pathogenesis and clinical features it is clear all the three disease have same etiopathogenesis as well as clinical manifestation. Now the question arise that if all these three disease are same then what is the reason for their separate description? To answer this question it is necessary to explore the similarity and distinction between these three diseases. The main difference between these three appears in their management as follows:
+
*In ''Kshatakshina, kshata'' (injury) is caused due to indulgence in various physical activities beyond one’s capacity. ''Kshina'' is a consequence of that injury with improper dietary habit and excess sexual intercourse.
 +
*The ''[[dhatu]] kshaya'' (depletion of tissues) is major pathological event in this disease. Hence ''[[brimhana]]''(nourishment) and replenishment of depleted tissues is principle of management.
 +
*The onset is acute without appearance of any premonitory symptom.
 +
*If the manifestation of disease is mild, the power of digestion (of the patient) is strong, patient has enough strength and if the disease is new (freshly occurred), then it is curable. The disease is ''yapya'' (palliable), if the disease is chronic i.e. more than one year. If however, all the signs and symptoms of the disease are simultaneously manifested, then the condition is incurable.
 +
*Milk, meat, ghee and honey processed with ''jivaniya'' herbs have significant role in treatment of ''kshatakshina''. Fresh blood of animals is also used in treatment of excess bleeding.
 +
*Food and drinks which are nourishing, cooling, ''avidahi'' (which do not cause burning sensation), wholesome and light to digest, should be used by the patient suffering from ''kshatakshina''.
 +
*With due regard to the ''agni'' (power of digestion), nature of disease, wholesomeness of diet, and regimens prescribed for ''rajayakshma, kasa'' and ''raktapitta''. 
 +
*''Kshatakshina'' , if untreated, results in ''rajayakshma''. Therefore, treatment at appropriate time is necessary to prevent ''rajayakshma''.

''Kshatakshina'' is a disease characterized by depletion of body tissues due to chest injury. In present era, the condition occurs due to over exertion, strenuous work  beyond one’s capacity, direct or indirect injury to the chest. The conditions like pneumothorax, pleural effusion and related respiratory conditions need to be addressed simultaneously by the surgical team to prevent progression of emaciation and complications of injury to vital lung tissues.  
1. Management of Sahasajanya Rajayaksma is not mentioned separately,
 
2. Management is given according to the symptoms,
 
3. For the management of Kasa and Parsvasula present in all types of Rajayaksma external as well internal treatment is given.

Kshaya is described as one among the four causes of rajayakshma and at some place it is used as synonym of rajayakshma like kshayaja kasa, kshayaja grahani etc.
+
=== Etiopathology ===
Sushruta describes 8 types of kshaya as–vyavaya (sexual intercourse), shoka(grief), sthavirya (old age), vyayam (exercise), adhva (excess walking), upvasa(fasting), vrana (traumatic injury) and urahkshata (chest injury) (Su. Ut. 41/21). Some scholar hold the view that kshaya and rajayaksma are two different diseases, kshaya is a condition of excessive depletion of dhatus whereas rajayakshma is an aoupsargika disease i.e. infectious state. According to them when infection occurs in an immunocompromised state then only it can be called rajayakshma. 
 
According to Ayurveda rajayakshma is a syndrome that has many associated diseases both as predromal disease as well as  complication and therefore vivid description of rajayakshma is available in the Ayurvedic texts. Cluster of eleven, six or three symptoms that may persist as an independent disease, is termed as rajayakshma.  Many synonyms are given for rajayakshma describing the disease from different angles as the two synonyms we described above and many others. Basically the vast diversity of the disease can’t be wrapped in a single term and therefore Acharya used various terminologies for full description of this multifactorial and multidimensional disease. Rajayakshma means an immunocompromised state that is more suspectible for developing secondary infections.
 
Examing the etiology and clinical feature of ksayaja kasa and rajayakshma make it clearer:
 
Table 2: Similarity between nidana (etiological factors) of ksayaja kasa and rajayakshma:
 
  
Nidana (etiological factors) of ksayaja kasa Nidana (etiological factors) of rajayakshma
+
The etiological factors can be divided into two categories viz. (1) Exogenous factors related to over-exertion/ strenuous physical activity that causes trauma to the lung tissues, excess weight lifting and excess sexual intercourse. Studies showed that strenuous athletic activities like vigorous swimming, heavy weight lifting, jolting, etc. can cause pneumothorax (PTX), pleural effusion and pneumomediastinum (PTM) etc.  (2) Endogenous factors related to malnutrition that cause depletion of body tissues and excess intake of food having dry properties (less intake of unctuous dietary substances like ghee, oil, fats. Lipids leading to dryness in body)
1. Visamasana (irregular, faulty dietary habit)
+
The etiological factors described for ''kshata'' are related to those that cause spontaneous lung injury.  
2.Vegavighata (suppression of natural urge)
 
3.  Ativyavaya (excessive sexual intercourse)
 
4. Excessive thinking of hatred things.
 
5.  --- 1.Visamasana (irregular, faulty dietary habit)
 
2.Vegavighata (suppression of natural urge)
 
3Ativyavaya (excessive sexual intercourse)
 
4.  Excessive grief, anxiety, envy, ambitions, fear, anger etc.,
 
5. Sahasa (excessive strenuous physical activity)
 
Table 3: Similarity between clinical features of ksayaja kasa and rajayakshmajanya kasa
 
  
Clinical features of ksayaja kasa Clinical features of rajayakshmajanya kasa

=== Pathogenesis ===
1. Foul smelling, greenish, mucopurulent sputum, hemoptysis
 
2.Jwara (fever),
 
3. Atisara (diarrhea),
 
4.Parsvaruka (chest pain),
 
5.Pinasa (rhinitis),
 
6. Aruchi (anorexia),
 
7. Svarabheda (hoarseness of voice),
 
8. Kasa (cough) (Ca.Ci.18/25-28) 1. Picchila (sticky), bahula (excessive), visram (foul smelling), harita (greenish in colour), svetapitakam (muco-purulent) (Ca.Ci. 8/51)
 
2.Jwara (fever),
 
3. Atisara (diarrhea),
 
4.Parsvaruka (chest pain),
 
5.Pinasa (rhinitis),
 
6. Aruci (anorexia),
 
7. Svarabheda (hoarseness of voice),
 
8. Kasa (cough)
 
  
From the above discussion it is very clear that ksayaja kasa refers to kasa in rajayakshma i.e. ksaya is used as a synonym of rajayakshma and it denotes a state where the disease causes so much debility and immunity is compromised to such extent that secondary infection becomes more severeWhile describing the management of ksayaja kasa, Acharya Caraka describes the treatment of discoloration of urine and dysuria as:
+
The disease has acute onset without any premonitory signs. This shows sudden appearance of clinical features due to traumatic etiologyAs disease progresses, it leads to depletion of body tissues causing emaciation.
 +
*''[[Dosha]]'' : ''[[Vata]]-[[pitta]]'' aggravation, ''[[kapha]]'' depletion
 +
*''[[Dhatu]]'': [[Rasa]], [[shukra]], [[mamsa]] and [[ojas]]
 +
*''Samprapti'' type: ''Atipravritti'' and ''dhatukshaya janya''
 +
*Clinical features and conditions resembling the disease
  
Charaka says that if the patient of ksayaja kasa suffers from discoloration of urine or dysuria then he should be given ghrit processed with the decoction of kadamba, vidarikanda and tala.
+
The patient suffers from fever, pain, mental depression, diarrhea, anorexia, indigestion, cough with putrid sputum grayish in color, foul smelling, and yellow and knotty, in large quantities, with blood.
This shows that discoloration of urine (hematuria) is associated with Ksaya or rajayakshma. Genitourinary tuberculosis is the most common cause of painless hematuria.With one-third of the world's population currently harboring latent mycobacterium tuberculosis infection, many modern day texts on nephrology do not discuss genitourinary TB as a serious cause of urological infections and advanced renal disease. Classic TB symptoms are rarely observed in these patients, compounding the difficulty of a diagnosis. Many times treatment of renal TB is delayed due to the vagueness of chronic, intermittent, and nonspecific urinary symptoms. Thus it is clear that the clinical features described for kshina are the features of renal tuberculosis that may appear abruptly (like sudden onset of hematuria in a patient of renal tuberculosis requiring prompt management).
+
*Subjective and objective parameters (scales with references)  
Now let us try to understand the meaning of second word- kshata and its significance as a disease.  Kshata means trauma or injury. Sahasajanya rajayakshma cause kshata in the urah(chest) similarly in kshataja kasa also there is urahkshata. Thus there are three places where urahkshata is encountered in Ayurvedic texts namely- sahasajanya rajayakshma, kshataja kasa and kshatakshina. Let us discuss the similarity between these three conditions to draw a conclusion.
+
*Clinical examination: Chest auscultation for added sounds, decreased air entry, Body mass index. Lung function tests including spirometry
Table 4: Similarity between the nidana (etiological factors) of sahasajanya rajayaksma, Kshata-kshina and kshataja kasa
+

Samprapti (Pathogenesis) of Kshataja Kasa
 
  
Indulgence in strenuous physical activity causes injury to the chest.

Purification treatments are not indicated in this disease.  
  
| Kshata kshina gets manifested as a result of the injury to the chest due to the excessive strenuous physical activity. Indulgence in strenuous physical activity causes injury to the chest.
+
Therapeutic massage with ''kshirabala'' oil, ''Bala-ashwagandha lakshadi'' oil is done.
  
From the above table it is obvious that Kasa appears in Kshayaja rajayakshma is elaborated under the heading of Kshataja Kasa. As the Sahasajanya Rajayaskshma is a very serious and emergency condition and managemnt of which is lacking in the chapter of Rajayakshma. its emergency management is described in a separate chapter under the heading of Kshata Kshina. Use of Sandhaniya drugs like laksha (mainly indicated for the healing of fracture of bone) and madhuyashti clearly indicates that in Kshata Kshina there is external trauma (ribs fracture leading to pneumothorax) that should be managed with quick remedies. As Acharya has given only conservative management for the Kshata- Kshina it excludes the possibility of surgical interventions in Kshata-Kshina (tube drainage with or without medical pleurodesis, vacuum-assisted thoracostomy (VATS) with pleurodesis and/or closure of leaks and bullectomy, and open surgical procedures such as thoracotomy for pleurectomy or pleurodesis) at that time. In the chapter of Rajayakshma, the symptomatic treatment is described and therefore it is necessary to elaborate the management of acute dreaded complications like pneumothorax and hematuria in separate chapter.
+
Chest physiotherapy for improving lung functions is advised.  
  
==== Kshata –Kshina as complication of Rajayakshma ====
+
==== ''Shamana chikitsa'' (pacification treatments) with list of formulations and medicines ====
यच्चोपदेक्ष्यते पथ्यं क्षतक्षीणचिकित्सिते| यक्ष्मिणस्तत् प्रयोक्तव्यं बलमांसाभिवृद्धये| (Ca.Ci.8/183)
 
Here, Acharya Caraka says that the regimens as described in next chapter of Kshata – Kshina should also use for the management of Rajayaksma for enhancing strength and muscle mass.
 
यच्चोक्तं यक्ष्मिणां पथ्यं कासिनां रक्तपित्तिनाम्| तच्च कुर्यादवेक्ष्याग्निं व्याधिं सात्म्यं बलं तथा| (Ca.Ci. 11/94)
 
In the chapter Kshata- kshina that is restore by Acharya Dalhana, it is mentioned that with due regard to the agni (power of digestion), nature of disease, wholesomeness diet and regimens prescribed for rajayakshma, kasa and raktapitta should be used for the management of Kshata- kshina.       
 
Thus it is clear that the management of kshata- kshina should be adjuvant with the management of Rajayakshma for proper treatment or it can be said that Kshata kshina management is applicable in emergency condition with acute manifestations like hemoptysis and hematuria whereas management of Rajayaksma is applicable for chronic stage of disease.
 
Basically the controversy in accepting Kshata-Kshina as advanced state or complication of Rajayaksma appears because of misinterpretation of following sloka:
 
उपेक्षिते भवेत्तस्मिन्ननुबन्धो हि यक्ष्मणः| प्रागेवागमनात्तस्य तस्मात्तं त्वरया जयेत्| (Ca. Ci. 11/95)
 
If the patient suffering from kshata- kshina is not given appropriate treatment on time, then this may lead to rajayakshma. Therefore well before the arrival of this ailment (attack of rajayakshma), the kshata- kshina should be treated, subdued (cured).   
 
In the above discussion, we see that there is conflict between the statements given in chapter originally written by Acharya Caraka (Ca.Ci. 8/183) and that restored by Acharya Dalhana (Ca. Ci.11/94). In chapter 8th, Acharya says that the treatment given in next chapter is also applicable for Rajayaksma whereas in chapter 11th, Acharya says that the regimens given in the chapter of Rajayaksma should be given to the patient of Kshata- Kshina. Thus it is clear that the management of both the diseases is interrelated but the controversy appears in accepting the sequence of protocol to be followed for the management of diseases. Therefore it can be concluded that Kshata- Kshina is the specific state of Rajayaksma that appears acutely and required prompt treatment. Accepting Kshata- Kshina as a singular disease refers to a cascade of autoimmune reactions that results in a complex syndrome known as Pulmonary- Renal Syndrome. Indulgence in the specific etiological factors provokes the activity of specific autoantibodies pervading the specific loci and destructing the body tissues that ultimately results in dreaded consequences.

Herbs used for the management of Kshata-kshina can be classified in two category viz. (1) having antioxidant properties and (2) having hemostatic and bone healing properties.
+
*''Pathya'' or recommended diet: Light to digest food like ''shali'' rice, wheat, green gram, pomegranate, dry grapes, mango, ''amalaka'', goat milk and ghee prepared of it, medicated milk, meat juice of goat
Different views on formulations:  
+
*''Pathya'' or recommended activity: Total bed rest
In the verse 16, in the place of ‘savatsaka’ there is a variant reading ‘dvivatsaka’. If this variant reading is accepted, then two parts of vatsaka are to be added in this recipe, other being one part each. According to some scholars, both the male and female varities of vatsaka, described in Kalpa 5:5, are to be used in this recipe.
+
*''Apathya'' or contraindicated diet: Excess hot, pungent, salty food causing burning sensation, heavy to digest food.
In the above recipe, the quantity of honey to be added is not mentioned. It should be taken in sufficient quantity and added to the powder for making paste, from out of which pills could be conveniently prepared.
+
*''Apathya'' or contraindicated activity: Over exertion, strenuous exercise, weight lifting etc.
When there are five or more liquids mentioned to be added in a recipe of medicated ghee, then each of them, according to the general rule, should be taken in the quantity equal to that of ghee. However the quantity of each of these liquids is specially described here to strengthen that general rule.
 
In verse 40, patra etc. are described to be taken in the quantity of two karsas. This quantity applies to all the ingredients taken together. However, experiences physician use each of ingredients in the prescribed quantities, i.e. two karshas each.
 
For the preparation of the decoction, the eleven drugs mentioned above should be added with eight times of water and reduced to one forth. Thus the quantity of the decoction will be twenty two palas. [This is in accordance with the commentary of Gangadhara. Cakrapani’s commentary in Nirnayasagara edition is different from C.K. Sen & Co. edition. Both of them perhaps, full of textual incongruities]. The quantity of milk should be four times of ghee. According to some scholars, milk should be four times of the quantity of the decoction.
 
For the preparation of decoction, eight palas of madhuka and one prastha of draksha should be added with four times of water and reduced to one fourth. Thus in total, the quantity of decoction will be one and half prastha. [According to general rule (paribhasha), the total quantity of liquid should be four times of ghee. But if the quantity of decoction is taken according to the above mentioned commentary of Cakrapani, then it will be less than the quantity of ghee. This may, however be treated as an exception to the general rule.]

This medicated ghee is prescribed to be prepared by adding sugar and honey. This will reduce the ghee to the form of a paste and it is suitable only to be used as linctus. This should be given to the patient having aggravated pitta. If sugar and honey are not added to the medicated ghee, then it remains in the liquid form (in warm condition). This liquid form of medicated ghee should be given to the patient having aggravated vayu, to drink. Alternatively, the medicated ghee mixed with the powders, prescribed in verse 54, and made to a paste form, should be used by the patient having aggravated pitta. When it is in a melted state, it should be given to the patient having aggravated vayu.
+
Use of ''sandhaniya'' drugs like ''laksha'' (mainly indicated for the healing of fracture of bone) and ''madhuyashti'' clearly indicates that in ''kshatakshina'' there is external trauma (ribs fracture leading to pneumothorax) that should be managed with quick remedies. As only conservative management for the ''kshatakshina'' is described, it excludes the possibility of surgical interventions in ''kshatakshina'' in that era. However nowadays the surgical procedures like tube drainage with or without medical pleurodesis, vacuum-assisted thoracostomy (VATS) with pleurodesis and/or closure of leaks and bullectomy, and open surgical procedures such as thoracotomy for pleurectomy or pleurodesis) are conducted to decrease the chances of incurability of ''kshatakshina''. At the present time, it is necessary to elaborate the management of acute dreaded complications like pneumothorax and hematuria in separate chapter.
The medicated ghee is generally given in a small dose, i.e. one karsha (12ml). This quantity is enough to alleviate pitta, but it does not suppress the agni (the power of digestion).
 
The term ‘nirunaddhi’, in verse 53, has a different reading as ‘na runaddhi’. If the latter reading is accepted, then the last foot of the verse 53 will mean “ghee when used as drink, alleviate vayu, but it does not suppress the agni” (power of digestion). [The latter reading appears to be more appropriate]
 
In the verse 54, the ghee is to be made to a paste form by adding the powder tvakksiri, sarkara and laja. The quantity of these powders is not specified. Therefore, these have to be taken in such quantities as are capable of making the ghee into a thick paste form. Vata, udumbara, asvattha, plaksa and kapittha- these are the ksirivrksas (plant having milky latex). According to salakya tantra, udumbara, vata, asvattha, madhuka and plaksa- these five are called ksirivrksas. [Chakrapani’s statement and the reference are at variance in as much as in the place of kapitna, madhuka (madhuka according to C.K.Sen & Co. edition) is used kapitana is generally used as a synonym of other drugs like sirisa and amrataka and not of madhuka. Bhavaprakasa has included parisa (according to some, sirisa or vetaasa) in the place of kapitana.
 
Thirteen drugs mentioned in the verse no.56 are to be taken (One pala each). To this, eight times of water should be added and reduced to one fourth. Thus the quantity of the decoction will be twenty six palas. To this, fifty two palas of milk and twenty six palas of each of vidari (juice) and goat meat (soup) should be added. Thus, in total, one hundred and thirty palas of liquid should be added to ghee and cooked. According to some scholars, the decoction should be prepared by adding sixteen times of water and reduced to one fourth. Thus, the quantity of the decoction will be fifty two palas. If this is accepted, then the quantity of other liquids should be increased. But for practical purpose, these drugs mentioned in the verse 56, should be made to a decoction in such a way that it become equal to the quantity of ghee.If this is accepted, then the decoction (one part), milk (two parts), the juice of vidari (one part) and the goat meat soup (one part) – these four liquids are to be used in the preparation this medicated ghee in which the ghee and the decoction should be in equal quantities. Alternatively, the juice of vidari and goat-meat soup taken together should be one part. Thus the ghee should be cooked with four parts of liquid in conformity with the general rule. A similar recipe is also described in Jatukarana.
 
In this recipe, decoction should be same in quantity as ghee and the quatity of the drug to be used for decoction may be varied as a special case.
 
Khaj means a stirrer and the rod of the stirre can be ten angulas (19-50 cm) or one hasta (45-72cm) in length. Wrapping the cakes with bhurjapatra promotes therapeutic potency.
 
A similar recipe is available in the work of Jatukarana.
 
For the preparation of this recipe, milk, oil, ghee and sugar should first of all be cooked till the water content of milk evaporates. This is indicated by the term ‘kvathita’ in verse 68. Thereafter, powders of drugs mentioned in the verse 66-67, should be added and mixed well.
 
Cakrapanidatta’s commentary on verse number 70 is not very clear. However, it can be explained as follows:
 
Cow’s milk intended to be used in this recipe, is not for the sake of ‘ghrtapaka’, but for intial preparation (karanataya). It seems that the various ingredients prescribed to be used for this recipe are not required to be mixed up with the prescribed quantity of milk in its intial stage. It is only after cow’s milk is sufficiently boiled and become considerably thick, that various ingredients should be mixed up there with and the process of the cooking of the recipe should be started. Otherwise, if all the ingredients are mixed up with cow’s milk in the very early stage, it may not be possible to have the desired density of the preparation.
 
The quantity of milk should be determined on the basis of the dose of nagabala- root etc. [According to the general rule, milk should be eight times of the drug, and of this thirty two times of water should be added, boiled and reduced to one- forth. The drug which is generally used in a coarsely powdered form, should then be strained out and the milk should be given to the patient.]

Abstract

Kshatakshina is a condition with kshaya (wasting, debility, emaciation) due to injury/trauma. Trauma is usually from external injury but in the present context this term signifies rupture of lung tissue due to exogenous as well as endogenous causes. The etiology includes significant exertion beyond one’s capacity. The disease shows close resemblance with rajayakshma in pathogenesis, as both involve anuloma kshaya (the depletion of dhatus takes place in the direction of their nourishment i.e. rasa then rakta then mamsa and so on) and pratiloma kshaya (depletion of dhatus in the direction opposite to their nourishment i.e. shukra then majja then asthi and so on). Nourishment therapy is the principle of management in kshatakshina. Various formulations to regain strength and replenishment of depleted tissues are described in this chapter.
Keywords: Kshatakshina, adventures, occupational disease, pneumo-thorax, tuberculosis, nourishment therapy.

Introduction

In Ayurveda, rather than disease, mainly the syndromes are described and kshatakshina is also a syndrome. Kshata means injury and kshina means depletion of tissue. The term literally means depletion of tissues due to injury. It includes various pathologies leading to depletion of tissues in the body as a result of external and internal injuries. It shows close resemblance with tuberculosis, however the cardinal cause in kshatakshina is injury. Hemoptysis (symptom of pulmonary tuberculosis), hematuria (symptom of renal tuberculosis) and diarrhea (symptom of intestinal tuberculosis) all have cardinal symptoms of tuberculosis which are described as the symptom of kshatakshina. It refers to those dreaded complications of tuberculosis that appear suddenly and require prompt treatment just as acute onset of chest-pain in patient of tuberculosis who suddenly develops pneumothorax due to rupture of subpleural blebs and massive painless hematuria in the patient of genitourinary tuberculosis. Similar to tuberculosis, there is impaired immunity in kshatakshina patients also. Kshatakshina refers to cluster of diseases like spontaneous pneumothorax and renal tuberculosis, whereas presence of hemoptysis and hematuria in a single disease suggests a pulmonary-renal syndrome (eg, Goodpasture's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis). The diseases due to excess exertion during work or occupational hazards can also be referred to kshatakshina.

Because of the above mentioned causative factors, the chest gets broken, punctured and cracked; sides of the chest get pressed and there is emaciation as well as tremor in the limbs. Gradually the potency, strength, complexion, appetite and agni (the power of digestion) of the patient get reduced. The patient suffers from fever, pain, mental depression and diarrhea even with the diminution of agni (decreased power of digestion).

While coughing, the patient spits out phlegm which is putrid, grayish in color, foul smelling, and yellow and knotty, in large quantities along with blood. The person suffering from kshatakshina becomes excessively emaciated due to further wastage of shukra and ojas. [9-12]

Prodromal signs and symptoms

अव्यक्तं लक्षणं तस्य पूर्वरूपमिति स्मृतम्||१२||

उरोरुक्शोणितच्छर्दिः कासो वैशेषिकः क्षते|
क्षीणे सरक्तमूत्रत्वं पार्श्वपृष्ठकटिग्रहः||१३||

urorukshoNitacchardiH kAso vaisheShikaH kShate|
kShINe saraktamUtratvaM pArshvapRuShThakaTigrahaH||13||

Signs and symptoms in unmanifested form (less manifested) constitute the premonitory signs and symptoms of this disease. (There is no appearance of premonitory sings).

However, if there is kshata (injury), pain in the chest, blood vomiting and cough are specially manifested, and if there is kshaya (diminution of tissue elements), then hematuria and stiffness of the sides of the chest, back and lumbar region are specially manifested [121/2-13]

Prognosis

अल्पलिङ्गस्य दीप्ताग्नेः साध्यो बलवतो नवः|
परिसंवत्सरो याप्यः सर्वलिङ्गं तु वर्जयेत्||१४||

alpaliṅgasya dīptāgnēḥ sādhyō balavatō navaḥ|
parisaṁvatsarō yāpyaḥ sarvaliṅgaṁ tu varjayēt||14||

alpali~ggasya dIptAgneH sAdhyo balavato navaH|
parisaMvatsaro yApyaH sarvali~ggaM tu varjayet||14||

If the signs and symptoms are mild, the power of digestion (of the patient) is strong, patient has enough strength and if the disease is new (freshly occurred), then it is curable. If the disease is chronic i.e. more than one year, then it is yapya (palliable). If however, all the signs and symptoms of the disease are simultaneously manifested, then such a patient should not be treated, because the condition is incurable.[14]

If there is fresh injury to the chest, then the patient should be given laksha (lac) along with milk and honey. After the potion is digested, he should be given food along with milk and sugar.

If there is pain in the sides of the chest or in the region of the urinary bladder, and if there is less of pitta and agni (digestive power), then the patient should be given laksha (lac) along with sura (alcoholic drink).

If there is diarrhea, then the patient should be given laksha along with musta, ativisha, patha and vatsaka.

If the patient has strong power of digestion, then he should be given milk cooked with laksha, ghee, bee’s wax, and drugs belonging to jivaniya group, sugar and tvaksiri.

For healing of the injury, the patient should take milk boiled with ikshuvalika, bisagranthi, padma kesara and chandana with added honey.

Half aksha (five grams) each of ela, patra and tvak, half pala (twenty grams) of pippali, one pala each of sita(forty grams), madhuka, kharjura and mridvika should be made to a powder. Honey should be added to this powder to make a paste. From this paste, pills of one aksha each should be prepared. One such pill should be taken every day. It cures kasa (cough), shvasa (dyspnea), jwara (fever), hiccup, vomiting, fainting, hemoptysis, morbid thirst, pain in the sides of the chest, anorexia, consumption, splenic enlargement, adhyavata (rheumatoid arthritis), hoarseness of voice, kshata (injury to the chest), kshaya (diminution of tissues elements) and raktapitta (a condition charcterised by bleeding from different parts of the body). This pill is refreshing and aphrodisiac. [21-24]

Milk should be boiled with the paste of madhooka and madhuka. With this milk, tanduliyaka should be cooked (which is useful for the patient suffering from the hemoptysis).

If there is mudhavata (claudication of vata), the patient should take the fat of goat fried with sura (type of liquor) and mixed with rock salt.

If the patient is weak, emaciated and having injury in the chest, sleeplessness and excessive aggravation of vayu, then he should take goat’s fat boiled with the cream of milk and added with honey, ghee and sugar.

If the patient is emaciated, having injury in the chest and cachectic, he may be given sugar, barley, wheat, jivaka, rushabhaka and honey in linctus form. Thereafter, he should take boiled milk.

The above mentioned patient should take the decoction of the meat of carnivorous animal sizzled with ghee and added with pippali and honey. This potion promotes muscles tissues and blood.

The patient having injury to the chest and diminution of semen, should take sali rice mixed with ghee which latter is prepared of the milk boiled with nyagrodha, udumbara, ashvattha, plaksha, sala, priyangu, tuft of tala, bark of jambu, priyala, padmaka and asvakarna.

Yashtyavahadi ghrita

Two prasthas of ghee should be added with the juice of amalaka (two prasthas), vidari (two prasthas) and ikshu (two prasthas) decoction of drugs belonging to jivaniya group (two prasthas), goat’s milk (two prasthas) and cow’s milk (two prasthas) and cooked. After the cooking is over and the recipe is cooled, sugar (one prastha) and honey (two prasthas) should be added and mixed well. This medicated ghee is useful in the treatment of rajayaskshma, apasmara, raktapitta, prameha, and kshaya. It prevents aging, promotes longevity and endows the person with muscle tissues, semen as well as strength. If the disease is caused by excess of [[pitta], then this recipe should be used as linctus. If, however, the disease is caused by the excess of vata, then it should be taken as a drink.

When this medicated ghee is used (licked) in the form of a linctus, it alleviates pitta. Since it is in small quantity, it however, doesn’t suppress the agni (power of digestion).

When it is used in the form of a drink, it alleviates vata and obstructs pitta ushma.

This and such other medicated ghee should be made to a thick paste by adding the powder of tvakkshiri, sugar and lajja (fried paddy), which should then be given to persons who are tired, weak and emaciated.

This and such other recipes of sarpigud [recipes of medicated ghee in which sugar, honey etc. are added] should be added with honey (which should be equal in quantity with the powder of tvak-kshiri, etc.) and taken. Thereafter, the patient should drink milk. This instantaneously promotes semen, potency, strength and nourishment. [50-55]

To this, milk (two parts, i.e., double the quantity of the decoction), juice of vidari (one part), soup of goat meat (one part), ghee (two adhakas) (in the text, actually one adhaka is mentioned. But in practice, it is to be taken double the quantity according to the general rule), and the paste of drugs belonging to the jivaniya group (one aksa each) should be added and cooked. When it is well cooked and cooled, thirty two palas of sugar should be added. Thereafter, one kudava of each of the powder of godhuma, pippali, vamsha lochana, shringataka and honey should be added. All of them should be stirred with the help of a stirrer. When it becomes dense, cakes (sarpigud) should be prepared and each of them should be wrapped with thin bark of bhurja tree. Having taken this cake one pala in weight, the patient should take milk or alcohol as post-prandial drink. These are useful in the treatment of disease caused by kapha, sosha, kasa and kshatakshina. These are also helpful for persons who are emaciated because of excessive exertion, overindulgence in sex and exhaustion by lifting excessive weight. These cakes are efficacious in the treatment of rakta-nishthivana (hemoptysis), burning sensation, chronic rhinitis (pinasa), having residual infection in the chest, pain in the sides of the chest, headache, hoarseness of voice and loss of complexion.

Cow’s milk (one adhaka), ghee (two prasthas), sugar cane juice (two adhakas), juice of vidari (two prasthas) and soup of meat of tittira (two prasthas) should be cooked together. During the final stage of cooking, the paste of madhuka pushpa (one kudava), priyala (one kudava), tugakshiri (half kudava), kharjura (twenty fruits), bibhitaki (twenty fruits), pippali (one pala), sugar (thirty palas), madhuka (one karsa) and drugs belonging to jivaniya group (half pala each) should be added. The above mentioned drugs should be made to a paste by triturating with sugarcane juice before adding to the recipe. After the recipe is fully cooked and cooled, honey (two kudavas) should be added and from it, modaka (large size pills) should be prepared. Over these modakas, one pala of the powder of maricha and ajaji should be sprinkled. These modakas cure vatasruka, diseases caused by pitta, kshatakshina, kasa and kshaya. These are useful for persons suffering from emaciation, who have reduced semen, whose blood is blocked in the chest, who are thin, weak and old, and also for those desirous of having nourishment, complexion and strength. These modakas are also helpful for ladies suffering from exudations through the vitiated genital tract, who desire conception and who suffer from miscarriages and death of the fetus in the womb. By the use of these pills, ladies are endowed with auspiciousness strength and wholesomeness. These are promoters of shukra (sperm) and shonita (ovum). [70-77]

In person induging in excess sexual intercourse with women, (vitiated) vata afflicts pelvic region. To such patients, recipes which are alleviators of vata, promoters of nourishment and aphrodisiacs are to be administered.

Sugar, powder of pippali ghee and/or honey should be added to milk and given to patient to drink for the cure of cough and fever. These ingredients can be added to milk after or before boiling, appropriately. (Whenever honey is to be used, it should be added to the milk after it is boiled and cooled.)

Phalamla should be fried in ghee and boiled with the juice of vidari and sugar-cane. The vegetable soup, thus prepared, is useful for a patient who is emaciated because of excessive indulgence in women. This is an excellent recipe for the promotion of longevity and nourishment.

Roasted barley flour should be sieved through a cloth, and mantha (thin gruel) should be prepared out of it. This gruel should be added with honey and ghee, and given to a patient suffering from kshatakshina, provided that he is accustomed to taking barley as one of the ingredients of the food and if he has strong power of digestion.

Alternatively, meat of animal inhabiting arid zone (jangala) should be boiled with the drugs belonging to the jivaniya group. The meat soup, thus prepared, should be sizzled with ghee, added with sugar and used as a said dish (vyanjana) for a patient suffering from kshatakshina.

Boiled barley should be given to a patient suffering from kshatakshina along with the milk of buffalo, mare, elephant and goat or with the meat soup or with vegetable soup or with phalamla sizzled with ghee.

The above mentioned recipes should be given to a patient having strong power of digestion. If the power of digestion is suppressed, then the patient should be given recipes which are stimulants of digestion and carminative. If there is diarrhea in a patient suffering from kshatakshina, then the bowel – binding recipes prescribed for the treatment of rajayakshma (chapter-8) should be used. [78-84]

Half karsha of the root (bark) of nagabala should be boiled with milk and given to the patient on the first day. Thereafter, the powder of nagabala root (bark) should be increased by half karsha every day, and given by boiling with milk. On eighth day, the quantity of nagabala- root will be one pala. Thereafter the patient should continue to take this drug in the dose of one pala for one month. While taking this drug boiled with milk, the patient should refrain from taking any cereals. Whenever he feels hungry, he should take only milk. The recipe is excellent for the promotion of nourishment, longevity, strength and immunity to diseases.

In the above mentioned manner, mandukaparni, sunthi and madhuka should be administered for therapeutic effects described above.[91-92]

To sum up:

In this chapter, on the treatment of kshatakshina, Lord Punarvasu who is conversant with truth and who is free from rajas (one of the three attributes representing fickle mindedness including passion) and [[[tamas]] (one of the three attributes representing slackness including ignorance) imparted instincts to the senior disciple on the following points:

  1. Etiology of kshatakshina;
  2. Signs and symptoms of kshatakshina in general and of each variety;
  3. Incurability, palliability and curability of kshatakshina; and
  4. Successful treatment of curable variety of kshatakshina. [96-97]

Thus, ends the eleventh chapter (on the treatment of Kshatakshina) of the Chikitsa Sthana; in the section on the therapeutics of Agnivesha’s work as redacted by Charak and not being available, restored by Dridhabala.

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

  • In Kshatakshina, kshata (injury) is caused due to indulgence in various physical activities beyond one’s capacity. Kshina is a consequence of that injury with improper dietary habit and excess sexual intercourse.
  • The dhatu kshaya (depletion of tissues) is major pathological event in this disease. Hence brimhana(nourishment) and replenishment of depleted tissues is principle of management.
  • The onset is acute without appearance of any premonitory symptom.
  • If the manifestation of disease is mild, the power of digestion (of the patient) is strong, patient has enough strength and if the disease is new (freshly occurred), then it is curable. The disease is yapya (palliable), if the disease is chronic i.e. more than one year. If however, all the signs and symptoms of the disease are simultaneously manifested, then the condition is incurable.
  • Milk, meat, ghee and honey processed with jivaniya herbs have significant role in treatment of kshatakshina. Fresh blood of animals is also used in treatment of excess bleeding.
  • Food and drinks which are nourishing, cooling, avidahi (which do not cause burning sensation), wholesome and light to digest, should be used by the patient suffering from kshatakshina.
  • With due regard to the agni (power of digestion), nature of disease, wholesomeness of diet, and regimens prescribed for rajayakshma, kasa and raktapitta.
  • Kshatakshina , if untreated, results in rajayakshma. Therefore, treatment at appropriate time is necessary to prevent rajayakshma.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences)

Kshatakshina is a disease characterized by depletion of body tissues due to chest injury. In present era, the condition occurs due to over exertion, strenuous work beyond one’s capacity, direct or indirect injury to the chest. The conditions like pneumothorax, pleural effusion and related respiratory conditions need to be addressed simultaneously by the surgical team to prevent progression of emaciation and complications of injury to vital lung tissues.

Etiopathology

The etiological factors can be divided into two categories viz. (1) Exogenous factors related to over-exertion/ strenuous physical activity that causes trauma to the lung tissues, excess weight lifting and excess sexual intercourse. Studies showed that strenuous athletic activities like vigorous swimming, heavy weight lifting, jolting, etc. can cause pneumothorax (PTX), pleural effusion and pneumomediastinum (PTM) etc. (2) Endogenous factors related to malnutrition that cause depletion of body tissues and excess intake of food having dry properties (less intake of unctuous dietary substances like ghee, oil, fats. Lipids leading to dryness in body) The etiological factors described for kshata are related to those that cause spontaneous lung injury.

Pathogenesis

The disease has acute onset without any premonitory signs. This shows sudden appearance of clinical features due to traumatic etiology. As disease progresses, it leads to depletion of body tissues causing emaciation.

The patient suffers from fever, pain, mental depression, diarrhea, anorexia, indigestion, cough with putrid sputum grayish in color, foul smelling, and yellow and knotty, in large quantities, with blood.

  • Subjective and objective parameters (scales with references)
  • Clinical examination: Chest auscultation for added sounds, decreased air entry, Body mass index. Lung function tests including spirometry
  • Pathological/radiological/ investigations: Sputum test for presence of Acid fast bacilli, RBCs, Chest X ray for fracture of ribs, opacity in lungs, pneumonia patch, pneumothorax, plural effusion etc.
  • Differential diagnosis:Pulmonary tuberculosis, Carcinoma of lungs, oesophageal varieces
  • Complications
    • Pulmonary tuberculosis
  • Prognosis: Curable if newly developed, and mildly emaciated, palliable in chronic stage, incurable in advanced stage and severely emaciated with multiple system involvement

Management of disease

  • Experience based clinical practices:
    • Applied principles in management of disease conditions
    • Styptic agents to stop bleeding
    • Binding agents for union of bones and injured tissues
    • Nourishing regimen for depletion of body tissues
    • Rejuvenation therapies

Shodhana chikitsa (body purification treatments) and procedures

Purification treatments are not indicated in this disease.

Therapeutic massage with kshirabala oil, Bala-ashwagandha lakshadi oil is done.

Parallel management of chest injury

Use of sandhaniya drugs like laksha (mainly indicated for the healing of fracture of bone) and madhuyashti clearly indicates that in kshatakshina there is external trauma (ribs fracture leading to pneumothorax) that should be managed with quick remedies. As only conservative management for the kshatakshina is described, it excludes the possibility of surgical interventions in kshatakshina in that era. However nowadays the surgical procedures like tube drainage with or without medical pleurodesis, vacuum-assisted thoracostomy (VATS) with pleurodesis and/or closure of leaks and bullectomy, and open surgical procedures such as thoracotomy for pleurectomy or pleurodesis) are conducted to decrease the chances of incurability of kshatakshina. At the present time, it is necessary to elaborate the management of acute dreaded complications like pneumothorax and hematuria in separate chapter.

Future Scope for Research

  • Exploring the clinical evidences for the immunomodulator and hemostatic properties of Sida Veronicaefolia Lam. (Nagabala).
  • In-vitro and in-vivo evaluation of hemostatic property of Boerhavia diffusa and clinical demonstration of its use in hemoptysis.
  • Exploring the role of auto-antibodies in the pathogenesis of tuberculosis and its relation with genetic suspectibility.
  • Evaluating the role of laksha (Laccifer lacca) and madhuyasti (Glycyrrhiza glabra) in rehabilitating pulmonary tissues in acute pulmonary injury.
  • Evaluating role of anti-oxidant drugs [like amalaki (Emblica officinalis)] and vitamin C in the management of chronic inflammatory as well as infectious pulmonary diseases.
